Tomah Area Community Theatre is a vibrant community organization dedicated to bringing captivating live performances to our audiences. Our stage comes alive with a diverse range of productions, from gripping dramas to side-splitting comedies and enchanting musicals. We strive to provide an immersive and unforgettable experience for all theater enthusiasts. This is the place where creativity knows no bounds, and our passion for the performing arts shines through every production.

​

Since 1976, the Monroe County Area has been entertained with quality performances.  Audiences of all ages enjoyed live theatre for 25 years (1976-2001) at ACT’s Fort McCoy location, in building 1255.  However, after the tragic events of 9-11, security tightened on the base, and ACT was forced to find a new home.

​

After purchasing an older building at 902 Superior Ave in 2002, several volunteers quickly constructed a small stage and lobby area, installed 69 seats and lighting, and began a very successful 2002-2003 season.  This was a good move for the theatre, and we saw memberships triple and ticket sales soar.  Although the location was right, ACT was well aware that it would be a temporary fix and not a solution.

​

The summer of 2007, the Area Community Theatre moved into our current location.  The theatre seats 89 people, and has a bigger stage than the previous location.  An estimated 3,000 patrons enjoy successful ACT productions each year.  Approximately 200 people are involved as cast, crew and volunteers during ACT’s annual productions.

​

Through the years the board has had many strong members some with artistic backgrounds and others with business backgrounds. They all volunteer their time to make ACT the best that it can be. The board is made up of the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and other board members.
